3 months out isn't like its "rolling off the line" just yet. hype it is.
That's extremely unlikely. I get the feeling that we will see a lot more test vehicles with employees before any customer deliveries. The good thing is that they should start producing those test vehicles very soon.

The graph above was Troy estimates, today we get confirmation in the form ofI was expecting a faster ramp at Texas. At this rate the price drop I'm looking for might slide into next year.
Well.. yeah.. F would have to cut prices to hang with the CT. I’m a fan of Ford and have always respected them for coming out of the the ‘08 crisis without government assistance (unlike GM). I also genuinely like Farley. But… the Ford electric vehicles will probably never get even close to Tesla.. The Mach E is dead (YOY sales show this), the Lightning is cool, but lacks in a lot of areas (strongest point being that is more resembles a traditional “everyday” P/U). Once the CT gets going, Lightning and R1T won’t have much of chance.the naysayers (even the media) are saying see how long it took them .I say watch out and buy TSLA
Also the naysayers say CT/ Y will never be the intro price. Well F is going in the right direction. Prices don't always go up:
Ford cuts prices on its electric F-150 Lightning pickups by as much as $10,000
Ford said lower mineral costs and an expected production boost allowed it to cut the electric truck's prices.
If you believe the millions of people who buy “traditional everyday pickups” want to switch to the Chbertruck vs the Lightning, you should rethink that thought. That’s not saying there aren’t a lot of people waiting to buy the cybertruck but to suggest the average truck buyer hates the traditional styling and wants the futuristic cybertruck is just bad logic. That alone will keep the Lightning competitive with Cybertruck.
not just wishful thinking.....magical thinking.
And until Tesla releases pricing, we’ll see if it will be “cheap enough”. Elon tweeting about the Lightning price reduction but not offering a Tesla comparison makes me think it will be the same or higher than the base Lightning. That’s a 25% price increase from original and I think it will come with a 15-20% decrease in range so the relative value is even worse. $70k for 500 miles going to 80k for 420 miles is a rise of $50/mile which is more than 33% increase in price.
Yes, think=assumed=I believe=my opinion. I never said it was fact. You think I’d be posting here for free if I had insider pricing knowledge? I’d either be buying a lot of stock or selling a lot depending on which side of expectations the pricing fell.
